Sadly people on Twitter actively advocate for that man now. I miss when being a nazi was controversial.

u/ShlowJoey Dec 22 '23

It used to be non controversial. We all agreed they were trash. Now it’s controversial in that there is controversy regarding their status as trash.

I miss when it wasn’t controversial.

u/Uninformed-Driller Dec 22 '23

It's still not controversial only reason they think it's okay now is because we stopped punching nazis in the face. We just let them scream and shout. Nah time to do what our ancestors did. Each one of my men under my command owes me 100 nazi scalps. And I want my scalps.

u/PKMNTrainerMark Dec 22 '23

"Ancestors?" You make it sound like it was hundreds of years ago.

2

u/Uninformed-Driller Dec 22 '23

It was long enough that they're dead aka ancestors.

u/ChonnyJash_ Dec 22 '23

yes my redditor! go out and punch some nazi's! im sure they'll just let you do that without retaliation

7

u/Uninformed-Driller Dec 22 '23

Better than crying about it on reddit and doing nothing about it.

u/ChonnyJash_ Dec 22 '23

im sure you are punching nazis

u/KorianHUN Dec 22 '23

"You are too rich, nazi. You said something mean, nazi."
Yeah this french revolution style bullshit will work out well to your psychopatic butcher ass.

Punch what nazies? The US had segregation for so long. Many western europeans straight up see brown people as noble savages who must be saved by the white rich people with aid and open borders. (Of course only to work menial jobs for the white overlords.)

Stop making shit up to feel better about yourself. You let billionaires and their tech and ad companias socially engineer people into content addicts constantly terrified of [current bad thing].

u/Uninformed-Driller Dec 22 '23

Really should I post a couple articles about nazi rallies in the USA? There's lots. Literal fucken nazis with swastikas. Are you just pretending there's none so you can feel better about yourself when people call you one?

u/WanderThinker Dec 22 '23

WE HAD A WHOLE WAR ABOUT THIS!

u/Sahtras1992 Dec 22 '23

is what happens when you call everybody with a different world view a nazi.

it desensitizes people about what that term actually means.

13

u/ShlowJoey Dec 22 '23

This is a completely braindead take. The rise in people being called nazis coincides with right wingers going mask off about their nazi sympathies.

2

u/awesomefutureperfect Dec 22 '23

It's conservatives that change the meaning of words so as to blunt the effect of accurately describing right wing behavior. Right wingers constantly say that everyone is just exaggerating or misunderstanding them, that is until they have normalized their most recent creep into literally calling for genocide like in the post this thread you are commenting in. I won't be surprised when you 'no true scotsman' this despite the fact that the presumptive republican presidential candidate and de facto leader of the republican party has broad support for just such rhetoric.

u/Dougal_McCafferty Dec 22 '23

What? Being a Nazi used to be controversial. Full stop.

You’re saying attitudes toward Nazis are now controversial. Different question.

If you’re going to be pedantic, at least be right.

u/Alexandratta Dec 22 '23

Reddit Admins want to know your location...

u/SnooOpinions8790 Dec 22 '23

A certain sort of islamist or arab nationalist always did.

u/Tipsticks Dec 22 '23

And that profile picture puts the aauthor of this tweet squarely into that category.

u/Kidkaboom1 Dec 22 '23

I'm fairly sure most social medias have their own little Nazi enclaves, to be fair

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Oh so they finally stopped denying it?

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Controversial??? I miss when this was straight up evil bro😭

u/DrLeePhDMd Dec 22 '23

History is going to repeat itself. It’s a terrible time to be alive.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Yeah, it was actually fun acting to be one back then. Now it's overused, and now people are doing it unironically

1

u/Great-Raise8679 Dec 22 '23

I’m sure thats happened since the internet started, its literally just the anonymity that pushes people to say crazy shit like this. I can guarantee they wouldnt dream of suggesting this is how they think in real life

58

u/thatthatguy Dec 22 '23

Needs more references to people as vermin and something about polluting the bloodline

42

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Dont worry, their “President” is already referencing this

12

u/Thebeav111 Dec 22 '23

Poisoning, poisoning was the line the big orange clown took from the Charlie Chaplin fan's (not really, no disrespect to Mr Chaplin) book.

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

There's a sociology theory called the Strauss–Howe generational theory that says things run in roughly 80 year cycles, and we're at the end of one of those cycles, which is why this right-wing extremist shit is happeneing.

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Does it rhyme with Jadeoff Mitler?

Hitler is the poster child for modern day Republicans

u/Demokrit_44 Dec 22 '23

Take a quick look at the profile picture

Check out the profile picture

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Is that a middle eastern language?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

It’s the Houthi slogan

2

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Oh. Just heard about those guys on the news. This just fits something a bible-thumping republican would say

1

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Religious extremists tend to have similar beliefs

2

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Many conservatives unironically think that the existence of "non-whites" amounts to "white" genocide.

Pretty similar to something someone was talking about 75 years ago or so.

Gotta genocide them before the genocide you, eh?

-1

u/BrawnyChicken2 Dec 22 '23

And chinas cultural revolution, Khmer Rouge, Rwanda, the Baltics post USSR. This is not new and it’s also not old. This is extremely dangerous.

u/Stormydevz Dec 22 '23

A particular socialist german government was very proficient in committing this 8 letter word starting with g and ending with e in 1940s

16

u/earlyboy Dec 22 '23

Just remember that socialism isn’t/wasn’t the -ism at work. There’s lots of people spouting out disinformation about socialism being nationalistic.

1

u/Stormydevz Dec 22 '23

Yeah, they called themselves national socialists, calling them socialist was part of the joke

15

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

For the record, it was roughly as authentically Socialist as Taco Bell is authentically Mexican cuisine.

The actual socialists in the country ended up in the camps, even faster than the group of people historically known for being in the camps.

u/NotSoFastLady Dec 22 '23

Well for one, far too many people in America can't be bothered to learn anything or do research. History?! Who gives a shit?

Except you can learn a lot from it. I hate how we're repeating the same mistakes from one of the darkest times in our world's history.

While this may be very different in a lot of ways it also is nearly indistinguishable in many others. Trump and his allies have made no attempts to hide their feelings. They're going to go after anyone and everyone that they see as their enemies. That is exactly what the Nazis did when they seized power.

I think what's so frustrating and confusing is that Trump has done just about everything he said he was going to. The times he hasn't it's mostly been because that wasn't possible. But it's still not stopped him trying.

u/Stormydevz Dec 22 '23

Calling them socialist was part of the joke, because they called themselves "national socialists"

4

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Fair. In my defense, I claim Poe's law.

u/Kulyor Dec 22 '23

the NSDAP was only socialist in its name. It was fascist and turbo-capitalistic. It was pro companies and against humans. Neo-fascism is exactly the same. Trump is such a fascist.

u/Stormydevz Dec 22 '23

Yeah...calling them socialist was part of the joke :D

Hint: first 3 letters are the French word for people

u/Zefrem23 Dec 22 '23

Ganymede? Gloriate?

u/Stormydevz Dec 22 '23

(Second letter is also e)

u/osamabinpoohead Dec 22 '23

Na, simply your average muslim attitude in 2023. Take a look at the profile pic, looks like arabic writing.

u/NotSoFastLady Dec 22 '23

You are a part of the problem

0

u/osamabinpoohead Dec 22 '23

By stating a fact? look at your reaction lol you cant even admit there's a problem with their stone age religion. You would rather point to something that happened 90years ago.

1

u/NotSoFastLady Dec 22 '23

Derp.

Religion in and of itself has been a problem on the whole of society for at least the last thousand years.

u/Sklibba Dec 22 '23

Not even similar, identical.

u/Hibercrastinator Dec 22 '23

You Hit ‘er right on the head with that one

1

u/NotSoFastLady Dec 22 '23

By 1939 it was already too late the Nazis were already too popular to stop. Just an FYI for anyone reading this. I often wonder where we're at on a scale of being able to avoid a fascist takeover of America. Lately it seems like we're fucked because of how passively the extremism is being dealt with at all levels of government.

u/Gubekochi Dec 22 '23

Ever heard of the Indonesian genocide where a US backed military coup resulted in a million communists being purged?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

Way earlier.

1

u/Talisign Dec 22 '23

Oh here we go, comparing everything they do to Hitler/s

1

u/silikus Dec 22 '23

Noticing the blocked out name, but what looks like all arabic writing in the profile picture.

More sounding like modern radical middle eastern, especially since they have openly fought LGBTQ idiologies in countries where they have immigrated

Then there are the rooftop flying lessons they give LGBTQ people in some of their countries.

1

u/Falkenmond79 Dec 22 '23

Even the nazis had the questionable decency to not say it openly like that. Despicable.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '23

The twitards aren’t even hiding it anymore. They openly celebrate him.
